COBB Tuning is proud to announce updates to the MAZDASPEED AccessTUNER engine management software and Off-The-Shelf maps that remove the Load Cap roadblock to producing prodigious amounts of horsepower and torque while still providing all of the sophistication and safety inherent in the stock ECU.

COBB Tuning continues to push the envelope in stock ECU engine management control by removing the “load cap” that has prevented enthusiasts from achieving maximum gains from larger than stock turbochargers. Through ongoing ECU discovery, software development and internal and external testing, COBB Tuning has created a tunable solution to alter the load cap parameters, allowing Professional and Enthusiast tuners to break through the 400whp barrier within the stock ECU!

An all-new version of AccessTUNER is now available for download from COBBTuning.com and features this new “load cap” removal as well as other new features that simplify and speed up the tuning workflow.

CALCULATED LOAD MAX
Max Load adjustment tuning has been added into AccessTUNER Race and Pro to compensate for how much air (gram/cyl) the ECU will recognize. This is a critical parameter for higher HP applications due to the fact that the ECU is not able to properly calculate fuel requirements when demand exceeds the load cap. If the load cap is set too low, a lean condition occurs, getting worse as the delta of actual load goes further beyond the load cap.

COBB Tuning has added two new tables to AccessTUNER, called Calc Load Max A and Calc Load Max B. These are RPM referenced tables with a value that presents a max allowed value for the airflow portion of the Calc Load. Altering these tables effectively allows the tuner to increase the maximum load values allowing for more airflow and proper fueling.

NEW FEATURES
COBB Tuning’s AccessTUNER engine management software for the MAZDASPEED now includes pass-through tuning, which allows the user to flash maps from a laptop computer directly to the ECU. All AccessPORT users can now switch their AccessPORT to “pass through” mode to directly interface with the ECU from their laptop. This also allows users to view live ECU data and Datalog directly to their laptop. Users can set and view live ECU data parameters from their laptop for seamless data viewing and acquisition.

UPDATED OTS MAPS
COBB Tuning has also released updated Off-the-Shelf (OTS) maps with the load cap removed and these are available for download from our AccessPORT Map Database. All OTS maps have been upreved to v1.05 for MAZDASPEED3 and v1.07 for MAZDASPEED6. These new maps are also bundled with the latest firmware update, allowing users to update their OTS maps through a firmware update using AccessPORT Updater.

COBB Tuning continues to be an innovator in the MAZDASPEED tuning community with ever more powerful tuning solutions and features that allow MAZDASPEED enthusiasts to get the most out of their vehicles while retaining the advanced logic, sophistication and safety of the factory ECU.


FULL RELEASE DETAILS AccessTUNER Engine Management Software
Max Load adjustment tuning has been added into AccessTUNER Race and Pro to compensate for increased airflow (gram/cyl) the ECU will recognize. This is very critical for higher HP applications due to the fact that the ECU is not able to properly calculate fuel requirements when cars are exceeding the load cap. This may create a lean condition, getting worse the larger the delta of actual load gets above the load cap.

Two new tables have been added labeled: “Calc Load Max A” and “Calc Load Max B.” These are RPM referenced tables with a value that presents a max allowed value for the airflow portion of the Calc Load.

Additional load cap reading material from the COBB Forums Load Cap Discussion..

Availability:

New Features:

  • New Load Maximum Tuning Logic
  • Two new tables: "Calc. Load Max. A" and "Calc. Load Max. B" which allows the ECU to implement a fueling load cap limit on the vehicle. This load cap has only to do with the fueling calculation capabilities of the ECU.

Updated New Table documentation for Load Max Tuning:

  • Calc. Load Max. A
  • Calc. Load Max. B
  • Simplified Connect to ECU Workflow
  • Quicker connection rates
  • Directly start datalogs and dashboard without connecting to the ECU first
  • Allows for configuring datalogging and dashboard parameters without being connected to the ECU.
  • Pass-Through Tuning
  • Improved tuner workflow by by-passing necessity to use AP Manager
  • Connect the AP to PC via USB cable and AP to car via OBD cable.
  • Allow the AP to boot to main menu (AP must be in main menu in order for any pass-through tuning to work, AP will show a busy-screen when it’s in Pass-Through Mode.

Flash Map:

  • Removes the necessity from having to use AP Manager to transfer maps during tuning.
  • Instructions: (Once AP is connected to PC and car – a.k.a. Pass-Through Tuning)
  • Once you are ready to flash a map (created new map in tuner or loaded a map in tuner), ensure the AP is fully booted up and at the main menu.
  • Then select ECU-->Flash Map from the tuning software menu.
  • Follow the directions relayed from AccessTUNER to finish the flash process. (When to key on/off, when to not interrupt the flash process, etc.)

Datalogging & Dashboard:Instructions: (Once AP is connected to PC and car – a.k.a. Pass-Through Tuning)

For Dashboard

  • Configure parameter list in Tuner select Options-->Configure Options menu.
  • From tuner select View-->Dashboard

For Datalogging

  • Configure parameter list in Tuner select Options-->Configure Options menu.
  • From tuner select ECU-->Datalogging

Flashing the ECU for increased performance is just the start of what the AccessPORT is capable of. Set the AccessPORT to Performance mode to capture 0-60MPH times, ? Mile times and Trap Speeds. Switch over to Live Data mode and choose a gauge to monitor, such as: coolant temperature, intake air temperature, throttle position, intake cam advance, exhaust cam retard, MAF voltage, injector pulse width and many more. Configure a shift light that flashes the screen when a user defined rpm is reached. Select the integrated Data Logger to record multiple channels of data simultaneously. Go to Troubleshooting mode to diagnose issues by reading the factory codes and resetting the system once the issues have been resolved.

The AccessPORT can be used to eliminate separation anxiety for those times when you are away from your car. Protect your investment when out on the town by quickly loading the Valet map to prevent the engine from revving above 3,200 rpm. Load the Anti-Theft map when you park to make it impossible to start. In the event the car must be returned to the stock configuration, the AccessPORT can be completely removed and the ECU restored to its factory condition.
